Amyloid is a cellulose and starchy protein. Amyloid is a protein that cannot be broken down or broken down. If amyloid protein enters organs, it is usually deposited intracellularly into connective tissue and capillaries. Abercrombie syndrome is a condition in which there is amyloid protein infiltration between cells and tissues and organs. Amyloid penetrates the tissue fibers and causes degeneration.
Abercrombie syndrome can occur in any tissue of any organ, but is most common in the liver, kidney and spleen. In cases where tissue is continuously degraded, the functioning of that tissue will be affected, possibly losing part or even all of its activity.
What are the signs of Abercrombie symptoms?
Abercrombie syndrome often has no obvious symptoms. Most patients are diagnosed when a significant amount of tissue has degraded. With that said, Abercrombie symptoms can occur in any organ. Depending on where the Abercrombie symptoms appear, the patient will have different specific symptoms. If the patient has symptoms of Abercrombie in the kidneys, they will see signs such as frequent urination, increased urine output, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bad breath, and swelling of the limbs. Some cases of Abercrombie symptoms in other organs also have similar signs and add symptoms consistent with the function of that organ when affected.When examining, the affected organs of Abercrombie syndrome have features such as:
Stiffness Enlargement Smooth When seeing abnormal signs of the body, the patient should go to the hospital for examination. It is best to go for regular health check-ups once every 6 months or 1 year to be able to control the health status, promptly detect diseases and take timely intervention measures, especially those at high risk. have Abercrombie syndrome.

The most important aspect of treatment of Abercrombie’s Disease involves the improvement of the patient’s blood, including the removal of any/all septic material. Iron and other therapies will treat anemia, which is an important symptom. This restores the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Echinacea, polymnia, burdock, phytolacca, stillingia, corydalis, baptisia, yellow dock, and dandelion are some suggestions of vegetable and herb remedies. Other remedies include hydrastis, glycerophosphates, and strychnin.
A nutritious diet and regular exercise prevent further degeneration of the affected tissues and organs.
The presence of amyloid substance is determined by its physical characters and by certain color tests. The earliest known of this latter is the reaction with iodine. The iodine reaction is useful for roughly testing macroscopically at the time of the post-mortem. For this purpose a watery solution, consisting of iodine 10 grains, iodide of potassium 20 grains, and water 4 ounces, is poured on the surface of the structure to be tested. A mahogany-red color indicates the presence of amyloid matter. The further addition of dilute sulphuric acid sometimes produces a deeper red or a bluish color.
For microscopic purposes watery solutions of methylviolet or gentian violet as introduced by Cornil are most suitable. These dyes produce a rose-pink color with the amyloid substance, while normal tissues are stained blue. In testing by iodine microscopically a solution half the strength of that mentioned above is to be used.
The substance itself has a peculiar bright translucent glancing appearance, and, as the structures in which it occurs are enlarged, they are often remarkably prominent under the microscope. It is a very dense heavy material, and, after death, at least, is somewhat brittle, but the usual absence of hemorrhage in amyloid organs would seem to indicate that it is not so during life.
